Denise Bitz, founder and president of Brother Wolf Animal Rescue (BWAR), in Asheville, North Carolina, believes Tulip and Daisy were on their way to the worst place possible: a feedlot, a place where livestock animals are fattened up before being sent to slaughter.

But instead they landed in the hands of the animal rescuers at BWAR. "They came into our care after the good people at Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge reached out to us," Bitz told The Dodo. Because the animal refuge wasn't set up for the little pigs who'd just fallen from the truck, it brought them to a place that was.

Since their rescue, Tulip and Daisy have discovered they love belly rubs, just like any other pig (or dog). "I live at the Brother Wolf Animal Sanctuary and get to interact with the 'girls' daily and spend a lot of time with them," Bitz said. "They have very unique personalities."

Tulip is the "alpha pig," according to Bitz, even though she is smaller then Daisy. Both pigs share a love for belly rubs and wallowing in their refreshing mud pit. They also love to play and run around with anyone willing to interact with them.

If you live near Asheville, BWAR is always looking for people to volunteer to help socialize Tulip and Daisy or build a larger living area for the lucky, and rapidly growing, rescued pigs. Email denise@bwar.org to express your interest.
